"Life is difficult enough, but relationship that aren't "working" can cause even greater difficulties, feelings of helplessness and hopelessness of feeling trapped. Relationships are difficult if you don't know the rules! As a psychotherapist with over 20 yrs experience walking with individuals, couples, and families through the turbulent times in life, I have been able to help many relationships to heal and be healthier. Sometimes all a person needs is a different way of seeing what is before them, which allows them to deal with an issue(s) that once blocked them from the relationships they desired."
